Hundreds of thousands of researchers around the world are working to improve life and address imminent threats to humanity. Often, the research ends up in the "Scientific valley of death" in the form of publications and patents that never see the light of the day.Welcome to "Lab to Startup" a podcast aimed at showcasing the effort needed to translate lab research to startups. The show has two main goals: 1. Sharing the stories of those scientists and engineers who have successfully founded startups based on the research at university and national labs. 2.
